Brian Cushing had a 35% increase, but he was playing football and lifting heavy while in college. It is not much of a stretch to see those type of gains when you are working hard.

Hell, nowadays (12 years later) I'm pushing 230, but I need to get back to 195-205...beer hasn't been kind to me.
No, at USC. You can gain a lot of weight when you're undersized and trying to be a starter at LB at a major program. I think it's more a case of hard work than steroids. I hear ya. It wasn't that kind to me either.
